The Bnei Brak Municipality hopes that the planned park, which will include footpaths and a pond, will serve as an alternative for Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan’s Yarkon Park.
The plan is to give the city’s residents “a real central park”, says Bnei Brak Mayor Rabbi Yaakov Asher. The mayor is expected to use property tax funds to build the new park, which will stretch over 105 acres.
The project includes an artificial pond with observation posts, bicycle trails, a skateboard park and extreme sports fields, picnic areas and a promenade. Bridges will be built for pedestrians above the park.
for a city as poor as bnei brak with such a large portion of the population below poverty level they would b better served cutting taxes instead of wasting it on being like america!
